GBME Epoch Electric Guitar Pack
Overview —“ The GBME Epoch Electric Guitar Pack is actually the first guitar, and all guitar related accessories, that I received when I first started playing. Obviously, the guitar isn’t going to be great for only around $170 or whatever it was, but honestly, this guitar is just horrible …
Barbra Streisand: Barbra - The Concert CD
This review is one great big rave, so be prepared. The specific product being considered is Barbra Streisand: Barbra - The Concert CD. You have to understand that not only am I a lifelong fan of this wonderful performer, but I was there for this concert; well, …

Skyscraper (song) from Demi Lovato
Watching Disney programs, I grew up watching Selena Gomez and her best friend Demi Lovato in this one film entitled Princess Protection Program. I adore this two young ladies and been supporting shows they do, even if they are together or individually. Demi Lovato is such a fine lady …
Anberlin
I first discovered Anberlin about three years ago when I went to visit my family in Wisconsin. I remember being in an F.Y.E. store in one of the local malls and seeing a white album with a statue’s head on it and there were blue flowers growing out of that …
Soulja Boy
I hear so much hype over Soulja boy. So many little kids run around singing, that “hop up out the bed song”, including my little cousins. At first I liked Soulja Boy, ever since he came out with his first song, “Crank that Soulja Boy”. I liked the beat …
The Corrs Unplugged Video
The Corrs is an Irish band and they have sold millions of copies of their albums worldwide. I can even recall that was in third year high school in the late 90’s and I heard their song “I Never Loved You Anyway”. This song made me love this band. …
Bob Dylan - Together Through Life
Overview —“ Together Through Life, Bob Dylan’s 33rd released studio album shows the man still has the drive to make music but it just isn’t as good as what it once was. Obviously I don’t expect Dylan to release another Highway 61 Revisited or Blonde On Blonde, although his …
Aerosmith You Gotta move live DVD
One of my live dvd concerts I own is You Gotta Move!! by Aerosmith. It was an originally an A&E special that turned into a DVD a few months after it aired on TV. This concert is a really good concert, but I wouldn’t call it much of a …
Winner at a Losing Game
Rascal Flatts singing about heart break is also heartbreaking. They know how to get their audience to feel emotion and that’s extremely important for singers to do. This song talks about how hard it is to love someone who does not love you back. Even if you can’t relate …
Billy’s Christmas Wish by Red Sovine
Billy’s Christmas Wish by Red Sovine is one of the few Christmas songs that makes me want to cry every time I hear it because of how it talks about a poor boy that has run away. This song is about a boy who’s dad is in jail and …
Bad As Me, 2011 Album by Tom Waits
I was waiting for you release by Tom Waits for a very long time. And I was very happy when it finally came. I really did not believe that Tom Waits is going to release another album and you can imagine how surprised and pleasantly surprised in the first …
Queen - We Are The Champions - Single
Queen, quite simply a legendary band, with the best entertainer of all time fronting the band. An absolute classic that is always played when a sports team wins a trophy in the U.K, is We Are The Champions.
What I love about this song is the very start. The way …
Love and Peace or else (song by, u2)
U2 is an Irish rock band that has many albums, one of my favourite albums from them is entitled “How to dismantle an atomic bomb.” One of the songs featured on this album is entitled “Love and Peace or else.”
The song itself starts off sort of low key, …
The Grateful Dead - Hollywood Cantata (Song)
Hollywood Cantata is a song by The Grateful Dead which appears on their album Blues For Allah. The song opens up with a false start which I personally find unnecessary and purely filler. The track then goes into the actual take and opens up with an introduction which seems …
Andrew Jackson Jihad - Sorry Bro (Song)
Sorry Bro is a song by Andrew Jackson Jihad which appears on their 2011 release Knife Man. Opening up with a quick rhythm which focuses on a guitar and the drums, the vocals enter the mix pretty quickly with the first verse of the song which returns the band …
A Perfect Circle
I first heard about the group “A Perfect Circle” in my final years of high school. At that time I didn’t consider them as my favorite band, or even one of my favorites. However, I did love the few songs I heard from them which as the time …
Relapse Eminem’s album
I recently got Eminem’s brand new music album, Relapse. I have been a die hard fan of Eminem’s music (And his straight-forward approach towards celebrities). The album has put up a great approach towards music, as this album incorporates a story within itself. Their are great CD covers, and …
Breathe by Michelle branch
Breathe by Michelle branch is a song about how a girl is trying to decide if she wants to stay with her boyfriend or leave but it seems to me like she wants to stay. I found this song on a site called Pandora but you can find it …
Green Day - When I Come Around (Music Video)
Overview —“ When I Come Around, the second music video released by Green Day also comes off of their third album Dookie. The song itself isn’t too bad, it’s not really one of my favorites off of Dookie but I do think it’s a good song, but I’ll admit …
Animal Collective - Who Could Win A Rabbit (Song)
Who Could Win A Rabbit is a song by Animal Collective and is the second track on their album Sung Tongs. Similar to the opening track, Leaf House, Who Could Win A Rabbit features instrumentation which is far more stripped down in comparison to the previous record, Here Comes …
Bob Dylan - Outlaw Blues (Song)
Outlaw Blues is a song by Bob Dylan which appears on his record Bringing It All Back Home, one of my personal favorites from him. Although Outlaw Blues is still pretty basic in instrumentation, although not quite as stripped down as many of Dylan’s other songs, the rock driven …
Arcade Fire - No Cars Go (Song)
No Cars Go is a song by Arcade Fire which appears on their second record, Neon Bible. Before getting into the bulk of this review, I should mention that this is a re-recorded version of a song that appeared on the band’s self-titled debut EP record. The song opens …
Muse - Resistance (Song)
Resistance is a track by Muse which is the title track of their most recent release, The Resistance. Like many of the songs on this record, Resistance is a song which is lyrically inspired by George Orwell’s novel, 1984. As a side note, for anyone who has not read …
Nine Inch Nails - Into The Void (Song)
Into The Void is a song by Nine Inch Nails which appears on their album The Fragile. The song starts off with some synthesizers which give the track that eerie sound associated with Nine Inch Nails but not exactly a dark feel. A drum rhythm comes into the track …
Johnny Cash
I just love the man in black. Johnny Cash was an highly influential singer, guitar player and song writer in the mid 1900’s. He played with his band and they traveled and played small gigs in America until he really made it big, and then Johnny Cash played all …
As I Am by Alicia Keys
If I could change something from As I Am by Alicia Keys, it would be the image of her CD album. It is quite oldish looking, but I suppose she wants it that way. Not that bad anyway, but I would prefer the glam Alicia Keys on the …
“F**kin’ A” by A.C. (Album, 2011)
The long-standing band A.C., whose offensive name is often abreviated as such, is notorious and infamous for their noise-filled “anti-music” with frontman Seth Putnam screaming extremely offensive lyrics. Their music is music to some, a headache to most. After a decade without any original releases, A.C. finally came through …
Crazy Ex-Girlfriend by Miranda Lambert
When I first listened to Crazy Ex-Girlfriend by Miranda Lambert, I really thought that I am reading to a novel or something. There is a certain kind of story to this CD album that I like so much. Her voice is soft and crooning and she can even …
Backspacer, 2009 Album by Pearl Jam
As far as Pearl Jam are concerned, I have never been their biggest fan. I always had a kind of appreciation for their music. But I never took that into my heart. I appreciated the fact that they are making serious rock music. But I simply did not think …
Iggy Pop “Preliminaires”
I was prepared to dislike the new CD my husband came home with the other day. I take pride in believing that I have much better tastes in music than he does, and while I know little about Iggy Pop’s recent work, I was skeptical about the new CD, …
Taylor Swift Concert
I attended the Taylor Swift concert on May 14th, 2010 at the Nassau Colesium in Long Island with my boyfriend. We bought the tickets after they were sold out from this website that basically buys and sells tickets for concerts. We ended up paying a total of like two …
Day and Age, 2008 Album by The Killers
For me personally there are many ways in which this album is a highlight for the career of the band. I think that there are so many songs on it that are good, and I think that the guys are not making any serious mistakes on this album, and …
Maxi Priest (singer)
I generally do not listen to reggae music, but when I do I usually tend to gravitate to the older types of reggae music like those from the nineteen nineties and sometimes, very rarely, the late eighties. This also means that I tend to prefer certain artistes such as …
Never Let Go (song by, Positive)
I first heard Never Let Go on the local radio airwaves here and I was instantly hooked to it. It has a nice conscious reggae beat to it and of course you just can’t match or beat the voices of these reggae artists. At least it seems so when …
Opeth Still Life CD
With “Still Life”, Opeth expanded on their musical musings by infusing a much more Progressive sound with Death Metal, Folk and minor Jazz infusions, throwing them in a blender and funneling the resulting substance through masterful musicianship and impeccable song writing. The end result is “Still Life”, Opeth’s fourth …
The Jimi Hendrix Experience - Up From The Skies (Song)
Up From The Skies is a song by The Jimi Hendrix Experience which appears on their album Axis: Bold As Love. The track starts off with an interesting rhythm on drums by Mitch Mitchell and a wah-wah riff on guitar from Hendrix along with his vocals singing over all …
Job for a Cowboy
I first heard the song “Entombment of a Machine” from the American Death Metal band “Job for Cowboy” a couple years ago on an online radio station called “L.A. Metal”. I was still newly into the heavy metal and death metal genre, and even though many fans might scoff …
Cracker - Low (Song)
“Low” is the number 1 single by the band Cracker. I’m actually kind of surprised that nobody has written a review for such a memorable and catchy song already. “Low” single handedly brought recognition for the band Cracker and significantly boosted their record sales for their 1993 album “Kerosene …
Pantera Album: Cowboys from Hell
I am a die hard metal fan, and so, like many die hard metal fans I love listening to the band Pantera, even though they have not been together for the longest while. Their albums from the early nineties remain my favourite too, and one of these albums is …
Next of Kin soundtrack CD
Next of Kin was a movie that starred Patrick Swayze, Liam Neeson, Bill Paxton, and Helen Hunt. Its soundtrack is full of variety with an interesting mix of vocal talent.
The theme song is an inviting one called Brother to Brother, sung by Gregg Allman and Lori Yates. …
Album : Hurtsmile - Hurtsmile (2011)
Well here we go then, the first 2011 hard rock album that is destined to be over rated all year. Hurtsmile have been on the scene since 2007 and is basically a side project for EXTREME fron tman Gary Cherone and his guitarist brother Mark Cherone, who oddly enough …
The Doors - The End (Song)
The End is the final track of the debut record by The Doors which has a significantly different sound than any of the other tracks on this record to precede it, for those of you who have seen Apocalypse Now, you’ll have heard this song in various parts throughout …
Satisfy You: Puff Daddy ft. R. Kelly
Puff Daddy ft. R. Kelly
“Satisfy You”
Forever
Bad Boy Entertainment
Director: Hype Williams
It’s hard to believe that this was the most successful single and music video from Puff Daddy’s sophomore effort, it’s not even a hit hit, it’s like sticking its head just above water on its tip toes in order to …
Nothing Holding Back by Melissa How - Music
It was my first time to hear Melissa How on this song as she leads the song Nothing Holding Back. It was one of the most favorite songs I have which the band Jesus Culture started.
The song started on the cymbals of the drummer as it counts the introduction …
Ultra Beatdown by Dragonforce
Well, it is finally here, the new Dragonforce album and I have to say it, the album is just ok. It is not their best work, but hey, it is Dragonforce and it still sounds good.
The only problem is that it soudns like they did not put enough effort …
Sugar by Demure
I came across this song on MySpace and was quite drawn to the singer. She has a tone that kind of reminded me of Amy Winehouse, but without all the gravel in her voice. The song’s lyrics kind of confused me at first. But then …
James Darren: The Best of James Darren CD
James Darren: The Best of James Darren CD starts of with Gidget, which is probably my favorite Darren song because it goes back so far and is from the movie I so loved him in. He played Moondoggie, and in my book, there was only one Moondoggie worth …
